<br />What do I need to submit to the U.S., EPA?
<br />"""" Each utility must submit a certification of your risk and
<br />resilience assessment and emergency response plan.
<br />Each submission must include: utility name, date and a
<br />statement that the utility has completed, reviewed or
<br />revised the assessment. The U.S. EPA has developed an
<br />optional certification template that can be used for email
<br />or mail certification. The optional certification form will
<br />be available in August 2019.
<br />Who can certify my risk and resilience assessment
<br />and emergency response plan?
<br />"""" Risk and resilience assessments and emergency
<br />response plans can be self -certified by the utility.
<br />How do II submit my certification?
<br />"""" Three options will be provided for submittal: regular
<br />mail, email and a user-friendly secure online portal. The
<br />online submission portal will provide drinking water
<br />systems with a receipt of submittal. The U.S. EPA
<br />recommends using this method. The certification system
<br />will be available in August 2019.

<br />When can I submit the "Initial certification?
<br />"""" Utilities should wait to submit the initial certification to the
<br />U.S. EPA until the U.S. EPA publishes Baseline Information
<br />on Male volentActs Relevant to Community Water Systems,
<br />which is required under AWIA by August 2019.
<br />Do I need to submit my certification to my state
<br />or local govermnent?
<br />"""" No. Section 2013 of AWIA does not require utilities to submit
<br />the certification to state or local governments.
<br />How long do I need to keep a copy of my risk and
<br />resilience assessment and emergency response plan?
<br />lo Utilities need to keep a copy of both documents for five years
<br />after certification.
<br />What if I do not have a copy of my m.ost recent
<br />risk and resilience assessment?
<br />0000 The U.S. EPA intends to destroy vulnerability assessments
<br />(VAs) submitted in response to the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, but
<br />if utilities would like to have their VA and certification
<br />documents mailed to them, contact WSD-Outreach@epa.gov,
<br />and on utility letterhead, include the utility name, PWSID,
<br />address and point of contact as an attachment to the email.
